I'm on a nice hearty sandwich recipe kick right now. My Sweet Potato Veggie Burger was a huge success. It actually booted my Watermelon Frosty for the top spot of most popular recipe of all time on my blog. Very exciting to hear all about how you guys made, enjoyed and changed up that recipe. I have made those burgers a few times since posting too - so addictive and easy!

So I've been working hard to find a new way to satisfy my sandwich craving (all while Nelly slept. And daydreamed of sunbeam rolls..)

So I present to you my stacked Seitan Sandwich..

It has been a while since I've made homemade seitan. But I am so glad I recently bought a box of vital wheat gluten and dove into this fun kitchen project fist first .. because making seitan in kind of like making bread. Only the "dough" you knead is much less delicate and really has some muscle and body to it. Those glutens fight back!

I like to steam then bake my seitan so the thick, high gluten dough puffs up into airy, fluffy, spongy seitan. Fit to slice, slather in sauce, saute or skewer. And making seitan is actually pretty easy..

To Cook Seitan: Saute Seitan in olive oil. Add the maple and liquid smoke during saute. Add fine pepper to taste. Saute for about 2 minutes on each side until seitan is heated through and crispy browned edges form. Cool for a few minutes before piling onto sandwich.
